"The Dove (Ma-Yu)" is a notable painting by American artist Grace Carpenter Hudson (1865–1937), who is renowned for her portrayals of the Pomo people, indigenous inhabitants of the Mendocino County in California. Completed in 1908, this work is a testament to Hudson's dedication to capturing the essence of Native American culture through her art, particularly focusing on the individuals within the Pomo community.

The painting features a young Pomo girl named Ma-Yu, which translates to "Dove" in the Pomo language. She is depicted with a serene and contemplative expression, embodying the grace and tranquility suggested by her name. Hudson's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of the girl's traditional dress and the delicate rendering of her features, which reflect the artist's intimate familiarity with her subjects and her respect for their culture.

Grace Carpenter Hudson's work is characterized by her ethnographic approach and her commitment to authenticity in representing the Pomo people. "The Dove (Ma-Yu)" is not only a work of fine art but also an important cultural document that offers insights into the life and customs of the Pomo tribe at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is a significant piece within Hudson's oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of the intersection between art and anthropology during this period.

As with many of Hudson's paintings, "The Dove (Ma-Yu)" is likely to be part of a private collection or a museum that focuses on American art, Western art, or Native American art. The work continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and as a valuable record of the Pomo people, whose traditions and way of life Hudson sought to preserve through her artistic practice.
